FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET TO PERFORM
AT SSU
The exciting Russian National Ballet will
perform one of its signature pieces, “Giselle,” on Tuesday, January
10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Shawnee State University (SSU) Vern Riffe
Center for the Arts, as part of the Southern Ohio Performing Arts
Association’s season of performances.
“Giselle opens the second half of our season with one of
the finest dance companies in the world,” said Carl Daehler,
executive director of the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts.
The Russian National Ballet was founded in 1989 by Sergei
Radchenko, a legendary principal dancer with Russia’s Bolshoi
Ballet, who sought to uphold the Grand National tradition of Russian
ballet and develop new talent.
“All the great ballerinas have danced the role of Giselle
which features the magnificent but very difficult ‘mad scene’ at the
end of Act I,’” said Daehler.
The epitome of romantic ballet, “Giselle” is a tale of
love, death, revenge and forgiveness. Giselle is a peasant girl in
love with Prince Albrecht, who disguised himself as a villager to be
near the object of his affection. When she finds out Albrecht is
betrothed to another, she dies of a broken heart, dooming her to
join the Wilis, the vengeful spirits of jilted women who force men
to dance to their deaths. The queen of the Wilis captures Albrecht
who is spared from the dance of death by Giselle whose love had
endured beyond death.
The Russian National Ballet has been well received around
the world, completing two tours of the European continent and Great
Britain, including standing-room-only performances at London’s famed
Coliseum. The company has also performed in Turkey and Greece and
recently completed a two-month tour of Japan, Korea, Singapore and
Hong Kong.
The performance of “Giselle” at the Vern Riffe Center for
the Arts is made possible by the sponsorship of OSCO Industries Inc.
Additional funding for this performance is provided by grants from
the Ohio Arts Council and by donations made to the SSU Development
Association and Southern Ohio Performing Arts Association.
The 2005-2006 season at the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts
continues with the big band tribute to Benny Goodman, “Sing! Sing!
Sing!” on March 7, the national tour of the award-winning Broadway
musical “Will Rogers’ Follies” on March 21 and 22, Michael Flatley’s
“Lord of the Dance” on March 28 and the Columbus Symphony
Orchestra’s special “Music from Hollywood” concert on May 25, 2006.
More information on these and other programs are available from the
McKinley Box Office at (740) 351-3600.
Tickets for the performance of “Giselle” are available at the Vern
Riffe Center for the Arts McKinley Box Office by calling (740)
351-3600. Tickets are $33 and $28 with discounts for students and
families.

“Destination Universe” is an exploration of the possible

of physics at SSU. “It is science with a science fiction twist.”
The show will
be followed by a live program, “The Skies Tonight,” in which the
planetarium operator will point out to the audience just what can be
seen in the skies at this time of year.
The show is open to the general public and suitable for
both children and adults. Tickets are $3 for adults and $2 for
children under 12. Seating is limited and given on a first-come,

SSU PRESIDENT
PRESENTED WITH MINUTEMAN AWARD
Dr.
Rita Rice Morris, Shawnee State University (SSU) president
accepted on behalf of the university “The Minuteman Award” during
a ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 5 at the armory in Portsmouth from
Command Sgt. Major Ray Royster and First Sgt. Tim Nicely of
Company B
216 Engineer Battalion.
“This unit, the 216 Engineer Battalion wanted to express
our appreciation for all of the support Shawnee State University,
the staff and the president of the university afforded the
families and the soldiers before, after and while they were
deployed,” said Stephen Pelicano, company commander Company B 216
Engineer Battalion.
A welcome home ceremony for members of the 216th
was held on Feb. 11, 2005 in the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts
after the service men and women returned from Iraq.
“We at Shawnee State are honored to receive this and
will continue to support this unit,” said Dr. Morris.
Pelicano said SSU not only held a homecoming event for
his members but also held a going away event as well as another
welcome home event several months after the homecoming in February
of last year.
“Shawnee State University is a tremendous place to hold
these events,” Pelicano said. “It’s centered right in the
community so it’s easy for all of the soldier’s families to get
to.”

HELP
THE GOLDEN BEARS BEAT THE RIO ROOTERS
The Shawnee State University (SSU) Golden Bears are out
for blood.
For the first
time ever, the Golden Bears and the Rio Rooters, campus
organizations for senior citizens, along with SSU's Tau Kappa
Epsilon (TKE) fraternity will sponsor blood drives to
see who can collect the most units.
The Golden
Bears drive will be on Jan. 18 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the
James A. Rhodes Athletic Center located on SSU’s campus.
“It is
really important to donate blood as often as you can because blood
can only be kept for six months,” said Tracey Leo, coordinator of
the drive. “The supply constantly has to be refreshed.”
Leo
encourages everyone, not just SSU students and faculty, to donate.
“The whole community can come and donate,” said Leo. “We
had a few community members at our last drive and I would like to
see more; just follow the signs to the Rhodes Athletic Center.”
Leo suggests donors make an appointment by visiting
www.givelife.org, entering 45662 as the zip code, and selecting
an appointment time or by calling (740) 351-3662 to schedule. There
will also be sign-up tables in the University Center (UC) from 11-2
Monday, Jan. 9 through Wednesday, Jan. 11.
“One donation
of blood can save up to four lives,” said Leo. “Our goal is 60 units
but we have openings for up to 100 donors. It would be great to
collect 100 units.”
Donors will receive a free t-shirt courtesy of the Red
Cross for their donation.

SERVSAFE
FOOD TRAINING A SUCCESS AT SSU
A ServSafe Food Safety Certification
Training class held in August was so successful that Brenda Covert,
manager of Business and Industry Training at Shawnee State
University (SSU) has announced another training session is being
planned for March 20th and 21st from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. on campus.
“We had a very wide array of participants from schools,
hospitals, restaurants, grocery stores, catering services, and
nursing homes,” Covert said. “The participants were very involved in
all aspects of this practical training, which resulted in all
participants passing the exam. Their average score was 91.65
percent.”
The two day comprehensive ServSafe training educates
attendees on the elements of safe food handling and how to design a
safety program that protects customers from potential food borne
illness.
“I enjoyed the training and found that all of the
information provided was practical and very useful to the food
service department of our school district,” said Mary Kay Johnson,
food service coordinator for the Portsmouth City School system.
The course in August was taught by Dorita Hodges, the
management training coordinator for LaRosas, Inc. in Cincinnati.
Hodges is certified as a trainer for the ServSafe courses by the
National Restaurant Association.
“This was the best and most applicable training class that
I have ever attended, the instructor was excellent,” said Valerie
Kramer, the owner of Kramer’s Catering.” I believe this training
should be required for all food establishments. I hope that local
restaurants and food service providers take advantage of having this
excellent course offered locally.”
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), an
estimated 76 million cases of food borne illness occur each year in
the United States as a result of the mishandling of food by workers.
In addition over 500,000 people are hospitalized each year and at
least 5,000 people die as a result of food borne illness. The CDC
reports that 90 percent of reported cases of food borne illness are
related to poor food handling practices involving improper holding
temperatures and poor personal hygiene.
Covert said the two day training is for food service
managers or employees who serve food anywhere to the public. She
said the training is also appropriate for local health officials
whose responsibilities include restaurant inspection and inspection
of food concessions at local fairs and carnivals.
Participants who pass the examination at the end of the

SSU
STUDENTS FORM NEW BOOK CLUB
To promote the enjoyment of literature on
the campus of Shawnee State University (SSU) the Calliope Literary
Club was officially formed and recognized by the Student Government
Association (SGA) during last quarter.
“We formed the book club so that people could informally
get together and discuss books,” said Taryn Malone, club president.
“I don’t think we have enough of that.”
Dr. Tim Scheurer, chair of the Department of English and
Humanities and club advisor enjoys the atmosphere of the club.
“It’s nice to sit around and discuss books without having
to be assessing the level of critical thinking and for others to be
able to respond in a non-academic setting. It is a little more open
atmosphere,” Scheurer said.
The group is open to the community as well as SSU
students, staff and faculty and meets every Thursday night at 6:00
at different locations, according to Malone.
“We usually read three books per quarter.” said Malone.
Scheurer said club members started out by reading books
such as Robert Cormier’s “The Chocolate War” which topped the 2004
most challenged book list.
“One of the books we read was Walter Dean Myers ‘Fallen
Angels’, a young adult novel about Vietnam, and then we thought we
would read some adult Vietnam lit , Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They
Carried’,” Scheurer said. “I would guess the current war situation
had something to do with people’s interest in the subject.”
Scheurer said during the winter quarter club members
will be reading books by expatriate writers.
“We’re probably going to read Hemingway’s ‘A Moveable
Feast’ as a core text and then works by other expatriates,” he said.
“We like to go between classic and contemporary, poetry and fiction.
We might do something with drama at some point and maybe even
nonfiction.”
According to Malone, the club plans to try something new
during spring quarter.
“We’re going to read books that have been adapted into
movies. We haven’t decided which titles we’re going to read but
we’re thinking about doing a sequence, read a book then watch the
movie,” Malone said.
Whether you’re a fast reader or you read at a slower pace,
the club accommodates all participants.
“We decide among ourselves whether or not we have time to
read the entire book before the next meeting or if we only have time
to read half, so that no one ruins the ending of the book for anyone
else,” Malone said.
There are no membership dues. Malone said the books they
are going to read are available at the University Bookstore each
quarter.
For more information about the Calliope Literary Club,
contact Taryn Malone at (740) 351-3095 or (740) 778-2565 or by
e-mail at malonet@shawnee.edu.

JAZZMAN’S CAFÉ MAKES DEBUT ON CAMPUS
Along with books, periodicals, and microfiche, the Shawnee State
University (SSU) Clark Memorial Library is now the place to go for a
good cup of coffee.
Jazzman’s
Café, introduced by SSU and Sodexho Campus Services, features an
espresso bar full of fresh baked pastries, tea, and coffee as well
as a place to sit and enjoy smooth jazz sounds.
Randy Warman,
director of student activities and auxiliaries said, “This café was
the compilation of dreams; Tess Midkiff wanted the café, and SSU
vice-president Roger Murphy strongly advocated it, and I cannot say
enough about how well Sodexho has worked with us to make it happen.”
“We are pleased to have Jazzman’s Café in the library as
an additional service for our students, faculty and staff” said Tess
Midkiff, library director. “If the first week is any indication, we
anticipate the café will be enthusiastically received.”
Justin Schiltz, an SSU sophomore majoring in
occupational therapy, is employed at the café and said there has
been positive reactions on campus.
“Students have told me this is the best thing to happen
to SSU in a long time,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of positive
feedback, and we’re going to continue to bring good service to
campus.”
“Anything we can do to serve our students is a
priority,” said Warman. “The nice thing about Jazzman’s is that
along with adding to the décor of the library, it gives students the
chance to be able to go into the library and relax. It is a
friendlier environment and will hopefully draw more people into the
library.”
To celebrate the grand opening of Jazzman’s customers
are invited to choose from several promotions: 50 cents off any
pastry, a free flavor “shot” added to any beverage or a free
beverage size upgrade from Jan. 9 through Jan. 13.

GRAMMAR
AND PROOFREADING WORKSHOP TO BE HELD AT SSU
To get ahead in
the business world you have to have the proper tools, drive,
determination and, of course, excellent writing skills.
On Friday, January 27th, Shawnee State

offer “Grammar and Proofreading Skills for Busy People,” a
workshop to help professionals improve their writing, in room 205 of
the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“Professional writing skills are essential for one’s ongoing
career success,” said Brenda Covert, manager of Business and
Industry Training at SSU. “This workshop offers participants an
opportunity to learn how to add professional polish to every piece
of written communication he or she creates.”
According to
The Wall Street Journal, 98 percent of the top executives surveyed
noted effective business writing as the skill most needed for
recognition and success. However, 80 percent of the businesses
surveyed cited written communication as their employees’ biggest
skill problem.
Covert
said the workshop will take individuals through the most commonly
misused rules that prevent employees from being sensational writers.
Participants will learn how to choose the correct pronoun, eliminate
misplaced modifiers, and learn tricks to ensure subject and verb
agreement in sentences. Covert said participants will also learn how
to avoid “comma-itis” by learning when a comma is essential, how
to decrease wordiness, use correct punctuation and spelling and when
to use formal versus informal language.
“The
trainer for the workshop is communications expert Cathie Mullins,”
Covert said. “Mullins has many years of experience in
communications. She will teach participants how to communicate
clearly and powerfully in letters, emails, and presentations.”

INTERNATIONAL
FILM FESTIVAL BEGINS JAN. 24
The Shawnee State University (SSU) International Film Festival “A
Celebration of Fine Cuisine” begins Jan. 24.
The festival will feature five full-length films from five countries
in five weeks. Each film begins on a Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Clark
Memorial Library room 205. An SSU professor will host each film and
lead a discussion afterwards. The movies are free and open to the
public.
Greek native and organizer of the event, Stylianos Hadjiyannis,
Ph.D., will host, “A Touch of Spice,” a 2003 Greek film to open
the festival. In the film, the main character uses his cooking
skills to enrich the lives of others, but realizes he has forgotten
to add some spice to his own life.
Hadjiyannis organized similar film festivals in the past and decided
to revive the event this year.
“The purpose of the event is to bring the world to SSU through the
film medium,” said Hadjiyannis. “This is the cheapest way for
students to achieve some degree of global awareness. In the
United States
, with the exception of some independent film studios, we don’t
make films like the ones we will be showing at the film festival. We
focus on blockbusters and mindless violence. It is important that we
see foreign films to see something very different. They can tell
some good stories with little money.”
Monique Balsam, Ph.D., a native of the
Netherlands
, will host on Jan. 31 “Babette’s Feast,” an Oscar winning
1988
Denmark
film about the lives of two religious, devoted sisters, who wish to
commemorate their father’s life with a feast and their mysterious
guest who helps them attempt this.
Wei Ying Hsiao, Ph.D., a
Taiwan
native, hosts the 1994
Taiwan
movie “Eat Drink Man Woman” on Feb. 7. The movie focuses on the
love lives of master chef
Chu
, his three unmarried daughters, and the elaborate dinners they
share each Sunday.
On Feb. 14,
John Lorentz
, Ph.D., of the
USA
will host the 2000 American film “What’s Cooking,” a film
about four families and the mounting tensions they face as they
celebrate Thanksgiving.
Julia Coll, Ph.D., a native of Venezuela, wraps up the film festival
on Feb. 21 with the 1993 Mexican film “Like Water for
Chocolate,” a romantic drama set in old Mexico. Tita and Pedro
want to marry. However, Tita’s mother forbids the marriage because
Tita, as the youngest daughter, must stay and take care of her. The
movie shows the power of love and the power of food.
“We decided to start the film festival on the Jan. 24 to coincide
with the International Culture and Cuisine Day at SSU, held in the
afternoon for SSU students and staff, since the theme of the film
festival is food,” said Hadjiyannis.
The
SSU
Center
for International Programs and Activities (CIPA) sponsors
International Film Festival organized by the International Forum
Student Club. The movies will be English translations or have
English subtitles.

INTERNATIONAL
CULTURE AND CUISINE DAY SET FOR JAN. 24.
Whether you are a world traveler
or if you’ve never been far from home, you will enjoy the Shawnee
State University (SSU) International Forum Club’s International
Culture and Cuisine Day to be held on Jan. 24 from 11 a.m. until 2
p.m.
Everyone is welcome to attend the festival for some excellent food
served with a dash of culture. The International Forum will set up
tables in the UC to form a buffet of international cuisine with
international decorations. Students and staff should bring any
ethnic decorations they may have.
SSU students
and staff will sample food from other countries and have the
chance to show off their cooking talents and knowledge of other
cultures by bringing a dish to serve at the event.
“People can
prepare their specialty and be there to serve the attendees and
talk about the dish,” said Stylianos Hadjiyannis, faculty advisor
of the International Forum. “If anyone has other items about
international culture, they can exhibit it or perform it. For
example, I will be showing a DVD of the opening and closing
ceremonies of the Athens 2004 Olympics.”
According to
Matt Arnold, International Forum member, students and staff may
bring any University-appropriate culture items to present.
American dishes, such as unique regional dishes, can be included
but ethnic dishes are preferred.
“There is no
size limit on the amount of food to bring,” said Arnold, “but this
is a popular event so participants should try to bring enough food
for 25 people.”
“We are celebrating the diversity that exists on
campus,” said Arnold. “This is a chance to gain awareness of
different cultures students may find themselves in contact with in
the future. The event should help erase stereotypes and promote
conversation.”
Possible presentations this year include a dance
performed by the Spanish 112 class and a hip-hop presentation by
Andrew Carter, an SSU student.
“We hope to
do this every year but we rely on student participation,” said
Hadjiyannis. “The festival went well last year and we hope many
people participate this year.”
Electric
cords will be available but Arnold encourages participants to
bring food warmers. Dishes and culture displays can be set up
anytime between 10:45 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Anyone who wishes to
prepare a dish or display for the event should contact Arnold at
arnoldm@shawnee.edu.

DEFENSE AND
INTELLIGENCE EXPERT TO SPEAK AT SSU
Jon Wiant, Ph.D., a senior intelligence specialist with Pearson
Analytical Solutions of Arlington, Va. and professor of
intelligence history at the Joint Military Intelligence College,
will present his lecture “Secrecy in an Open Society” at 7 p.m. on
Monday, Jan. 23 in the Flohr Lecture Hall, Clark Memorial Library
located on Shawnee State University’s campus.
The lecture will focus on secrecy, surveillance,
presidential power, and government oversight.
“I am really excited about having Jon Wiant speak at
SSU,” said Michael Field, SSU provost. “His work with the
Department of State and with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
has placed him at the core of the foreign affairs decision-making
process of our national government.”
Wiant served as a member of the Department of State’s
Senior Executive Service from 1987 until his retirement from the
U.S. Department of State in September 2004. His many years of
service garnered him the Secretary’s Career Achievement Award from
Secretary of State Colin Powell and the National Intelligence
Distinguished Service Medal from Director of Central Intelligence
Porter Goss.
Wiant
graduated from Otero Junior College in La Junta, Colo. and
received a Bachelor of Arts with honors from the University of
Colorado. He researched Burmese politics in his dissertation,
“Lanzin: Tradition in the Service of Revolution,” while attending
Cornell University as a Danforth Fellow. He also served in
military intelligence positions in the 1960’s while in Vietnam,
earning the Bronze Star, the Army Commendation Medal, and the
Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.
Wiant began working for the
Department of State in 1975 as an analyst on Southeast Asian
affairs with the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR). In
1979, he formed the INR’s Global Issues Staff, which focused on
international narcotics trafficking and terrorism. Wiant worked as
the State Department’s Assistant Inspector General for Security
and Intelligence Oversight from 1996 to 2001. He also served in
various other capacities throughout his career.
“Wiant is in an ideal position to discuss the ongoing
tensions between the need to guard secrets and the need for the
public to know what is really happening in the world,” said Field.
The director of the CIA selected Wiant as the State
Department’s first recipient of the Exceptional Intelligence
Analyst award in 1981. He received the National Intelligence Medal
for his work in intelligence policy coordination in 1985 and the
CIA’s Helene Boatner Award in 2004 for his contributions to
intelligence studies. He also received the Defense Intelligence
Director’s Award, the CIA’s Seal Medallion, Department of State
Meritorious Honor Awards, and numerous Senior Executive Service
Performance awards.
Wiant currently serves on the Board of Directors of
the Society for Values in Higher Education, on the editorial
boards of both “Studies in Intelligence” and the “Defense
Intelligence Journal,” and as a member of the National Eagle Scout
Association.
The lecture will last approximately 40 minutes,
followed by questions and discussion. The event, sponsored by the
SSU Office of the Provost, is free and open to the public.

can to fun events, usually free, available to our fellow
students. It is a great way to build school pride.”
Thursday celebrates Black History Month with “I
Have a Dream Trivia.” Students win t-shirts for answering Black

great time,” said Johnson.

LAST CHANCE TO TAKE A CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELD
TOUR FOR ONLY $300
Ever wanted to tour Civil War battlefields
with an expert guide?
If so,
Shawnee State University (SSU) has planned your summer vacation
planned for you.
SSU will offer a tour of approximately 50 Civil War sites,
including Gettysburg, Harper’s Ferry, Antietam, and Appomattox
Court House, with Professor Larry Mangus, Ed.D, this summer.
Seats are available for non-students. Students who sign up for
the trip can receive course credit.
The tour,
scheduled from June 11 until June 17, 2006 costs only $300,
which covers motels, travel, and admission fees for all of the
sites. Students and non-students pay the same price.
“One night as
I taught Civil War history, I became frustrated because I was
trying to explain the Battle of Lookout Mountain and the
students didn’t understand,” said Mangus, who has taught Civil
War history for 9 years. “I said ‘Look out the window’ and
pointed to the big cliffs across from Massie Hall (across the
river in Ky.) and told the students Lookout Mountain looks like
this. I then realized students could learn more if they saw
where these events took place. I asked the students if anyone
would be interested in going and we got an overwhelming
response.”
Participants
must register and provide a $100 nonrefundable deposit. Space is
limited to 20 people. Registration began Jan. 1 and
registrations are accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis.
This will be the last year for the trip, which Mangus has
offered for the past 8 years, due to his upcoming retirement.
“We have had
faculty members, staff members, and townspeople go on the trip,”
said Mangus. “People as far away as Cincinnati have taken the
tour. It makes a great vacation for those interested in the
Civil War. This tour would probably normally cost between $2,000
and $2,500 so $300 is a great deal.”
Peggy Dillow, student affairs executive secretary and organizer
of the yearly event, took the trip two summers ago.
“I loved the
White House of the Confederacy, Gettysburg, and Petersburg but
it would be very difficult to say the one thing that I enjoyed
most,” said Dillow. “You go so many places and they are all
amazing.”
Students taking the tour for class credit must also register for
History 399 during summer quarter.
“It’s a
shorts and running shoes kind of trip,” said Mangus. “We eat a
lot of fast food. The trip is fast paced because we see so many
sites.”
For more
information or to reserve your seat, contact Mangus at (740)
351-3280.

employees can help in the fight against the number one killer of
women in the United States, heart disease, by supporting the
American Heart Association’s (AHA) Go Red for Women campaign on

empower women with the knowledge they need to take charge of their
health.”
On Feb. 3 employees of participating organizations

CONTRIBUTE TO SUGAR & SPICE III TO BE HELD ON VALENTINE’S DAY
The Shawnee State
University (SSU) Women’s Forum will be holding its annual “Sugar
and Spice and Everything Nice: Celebrating the Women in our
Lives,” on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in
the University Center lobby.
“Women have a
long history as the traditional providers of meals,” said Shannon
Lawson, assistant professor of English and member of the Women’s
Forum Steering Committee and Women’s History Month committee.
“For many of our mothers, aunts and grandmothers, cooking was
their outlet for creativity as well as a way of showing love for
their families. Although meal preparation is often seen today as
a chore to be accomplished as quickly as possible, we wish to take
the time to honor those special women by recognizing their talents
in the kitchen.”
“All faculty,
staff, and students are invited to participate or stop by and
sample the treats as we celebrate the special women in our lives
by sharing recipes,” said Lawson.
Tess Midkiff, director of the Clark Memorial Library
and member of the Women’s Forum Steering Committee, has
participated in Sugar & Spice for the past two years and plans to
partake this year by sharing a delicious pink divinity candy, a
signature recipe passed down by her mother, the late Dortha Taylor
Durham, a wonderful cook also known for her delectable coconut
cream pie and red velvet cake.
“The first year I participated in Sugar & Spice I made
the red velvet cake,” said Midkiff. “The second year, I made
cream puffs, a recipe made by my mother-in-law Wanda Midkiff, the
mother of SSU’s registrar, Steve Midkiff.”
Lawson said that the events in the past have been a
success, and while each participant brings copies of a favorite
recipe and samples to eat, they also put their own spin on the way
in which they choose to honor their loved ones.
“Tess Midkiff brought a lovely framed photograph of
her mother,” said Lawson. “Patric Leedom brought some of this
mother’s poetry, and Susie Fennell told a story of making
snickerdoodles with her mother, who passed away when she was quite
young. Tim Scheurer told a wonderful story about his
grandmother’s ‘hockey pucks,’ the chocolate chip cookies she used
to send him while he was in college.”
The Forum needs contributions of favorite cookie,
candy and sweet recipes passed down through the years. The
deadline to sign up is Jan. 26. Please email Shannon Lawson at
slawson@shawnee.edu or (740) 351-3295 to enter your special
recipe, and don’t forget to bring the treat for all to try.

Jinlu Li, Ph.D., was appointed honorary professor of Nanjing
Economics and Finance University in Nanjing, China.
LI APPOINTED HONORARY PROFESSOR OF NANJING UNIVERSITY
Jinlu Li, Ph.D., professor of mathematics at Shawnee
State University (SSU), has been named honorary professor of
Nanjing Economics and Finance University, one of China’s key
comprehensive universities located in Nanjing, China with an
enrollment of about 20,000 students.
“It was a surprise to me to receive this appointment,”
said Li. “I am happy about it.”
“We have very high standards at Nanjing, and we have rigorous
rules and regulations when selecting our honorary professors,’
said Professor Zhang Cong Jun, the chair of the Department of
Applied Mathematics at Nanjing Economics and Finance University.
“Based on his research contributions, teaching and other
performances, to show our respect for him, I, as the chair, and
all members of our department, recommended professor Li.”
At the end of fall quarter at SSU, Li visited China
after being invited to do research with professors in Beijing. He
was also invited to Nanjing University, and during his one-week
stay there he presented a seminar and lecture “From Finite Matrix
Games to Infinite Matrix Games,” which explains that for every
matrix game with finite strategies there is at least one optimal
strategy. Li’s seminar also covered education systems in
America. Li answered questions from the students and faculty
members about the education systems.
Li said that the appointment he received from Congcai
Xu, the president of Nanjing Economics and Finance University, had
already been decided based on his research within the field before
he presented his lecture. After the lecture, a ceremony was held
to recognize Li by appointing him as an honorary professor.
“After this appointment, I will have more opportunities
to visit Nanjing Economics and Finance University and do more
collaborative research with their professors,” said Li. “We will
exchange ideas about our teaching philosophy and teaching
experiences. I will know more about their students, classrooms
and curriculum which will help me improve my teaching at SSU. “
Li expects to return to Nanjing University during the
summer.

Natalie Hogan and Justin Isaac, both SSU seniors,
will present essays on campus as well as in
Atlanta at the 2006 American Culture Association Conference.
STUDENTS TO PRESENT AT AMERICAN CULTURE ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE
Two Shawnee State University (SSU) students, Natalie
Hogan and Justin Isaac, will have the opportunity to present
essays at the 2006 American Culture Association Conference in
Atlanta, Georgia, April
12-15, thanks to the sponsorship of the SSU Women’s Forum.
The students
will present their essays as part of SSU’s celebration of Women’s
History Month on March 7, 2006 at noon in SSU’s Micklethwaite
Banquet Room in the University Center before attending the Atlanta
conference. Tim Scheurer, Ph.D., chair of the SSU English
department, and Darren Harris-Fain, Ph.D., associate professor of
English, will be attending the conference as well.
Hogan, a senior majoring in English and Humanities,
will present her work “’Basic Instinct’s’” Catherine Tramell:
Turning Patriarchal Domination to Stone,” an analytical essay
discussing the 1992 film “Basic Instinct.” In this essay, Hogan
discusses the character Catherine Tramell, played by Sharon Stone,
who refuses to be limited by traditional moral and ethical
boundaries. Moreover, Hogan also discusses the film’s writer and
director in relation to their portrayal of women in their
respective film careers.
“I am very excited about presenting this paper for the
Women’s Forum,” said Hogan. “It will also provide me an
opportunity to receive feedback on my presentation from faculty
members and students.”
Isaac, also a
senior majoring in English and Humanities, will present, “Living
Life on Their Terms: The Women in Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘Princess
Mononoke.’” Isaac chose “Princess Mononoke,’” one of the finest
examples of Japanese animation, because it was one of the highest
grossing films in Japan and has received acclaim on the
international scene, and because of its portrayal of strong female
characters.
Both Hogan
and Isaac are excited to be able to present their papers on campus
and at the April conference.
“I look at
this as another major step in my scholarly journey,” said Isaac.
“I want to be an English professor and these presentations will
help me build experience I will use one day in my professional
career.”
“As a
scholar, presenting at a professional conference is a really big
deal,” said Hogan. “My career goals include graduate school and
hopefully becoming a published writer, so I am thrilled about this
wonderful opportunity.”
The papers
were initially an assignment in the course “Women in Film,” taught
by Darren Harris-Fain, Ph.D.
“While all of the analytical essays I received were
good, Hogan and Isaac’s essays really stood out,” said
Harris-Fain. “I am especially excited for Natalie and Justin. It
is a great opportunity and they will learn a lot from their
experience. It is even possible that the feedback they’ll receive
could help them develop their work for publication.”
“I think this is an excellent opportunity for these
students,” said Scheurer. “It is a national meeting with scholars
and graduate students attending from all over the United States
and abroad and from a wide range of universities. The conference,
moreover, welcomes younger presenters and papers are generally
well received.”
“Women’s History Month is about educating people
about the contributions women have made over the years,” said
Shannon Lawson, assistant professor of English and chairperson and
of the Women’s Forum. “I think it’s great that these students can
present their works about women in film to us and I hope they have
a successful presentation in Atlanta as well.”

SSU
The Department of Fine, Digital, and Performing Arts
at Shawnee State University (SSU) will be presenting a short
concert celebrating the 250th birthday of the composer,
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on Jan. 27 at 3 p.m. in the Vern Riffe
Center for the Arts Selby Lobby.
“Mozart is undeniably our greatest composer,” said

Center. “The fact the he was composing mature works at the age of
5 is miraculous, but the enormous effect he had on future
composers in the development of the classical, romantic and even
modern music is probably his greatest achievement. Mozart was a
musical genius that will never be equaled.”
Guest performances will feature Stan Workman,
conductor, pianist, and adjunct music professor at SSU, the SSU
Vocal Ensemble, soprano Shirley Crothers-Marley, Beverly Cain on
clarinet, Carl Daehler, soprano Emma Hunter and Chris Boyles on
piano.
Daehler said that it will be a pleasure to perform
with Stan Workman and other members of Portsmouth’s musical
community.
“This is just one of the many performances each year
presented by SSU’s Department of Fine, Digital and Performing
Arts. We look forward to more of these recitals in the future,”
said Daehler.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH EVENTS TO BE HELD
The Shawnee State University (SSU) Office of Multicultural Affairs
has organized a number of events in February to commemorate Black
History Month.
“This is a
great opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to gain
exposure to different cultures,” said Matt Matthews, coordinator
of multicultural student affairs. “It is a valued program that
offers insight into the differences of people that exist in the
world.”
The showcase
for Black History Month will be the Mad River Theater Works
presentation of “Everybody’s Hero: The Jackie Robinson Story,” a
use of music, drama, and storytelling to explore the life of
Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play baseball in
the major leagues. There will be two presentations on Feb. 17 at
the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts. Along with a 10 a.m. showing
for area school children which is $3, there will be a free second
showing at 7 p.m. which is open to the public.
“Mad River
gave a presentation on the Underground Railroad at SSU in 1992,”
said Matthews. “It was a great performance, so we look forward to
seeing them again.”
Other events
will be presented by the African, Hispanic, Asian, Native American
(AHANA) club and will include Speak On It Poetry Night, Feb. 6

February as Black History Month,” he said.
